At Burrow & Crowe we can advise companies in the Leeds area about group VAT registration. Here are some of the issues to consider.

An unincorporated body, such as a sole trader or partnership, is also permitted to join a VAT group provided it makes taxable supplies and controls one or more companies or LLPs.
